I bought a cheap dual usb wall charger from eBay to charge a iPad and samsung s6 at once but it seems to take 6> hours to charge. I've checked the specs on it and it says 2.4A ?

Can any recommend a dual charger that actually works in charging at the same rate ?

I've now been looking at branded chargers such as anker.

What am after is a charger between 2-4 ports, compact in size and something that plugs straight into the wall socket.

Also this is to be used as my travel charger which i will be using a plug converter plug from UK to Europe. The plug converter says its a 10A.

I think the OP mentioned wanting something compact that could be plugged directly into the wall.
 
This Ravpower 24W wall charger is more compact than the Anker. If you want all the devices to charge at full speed, you want to look for something that's at least 10-12W per port. And on the Android side, the proper cable is required as well.

I'm happy with my Anker stuff, but I see that Ravpower has a full 30 month (18+12 extension) warranty if you register the product.

I don't think you'd go wrong with either.

Get an Anker one off of Amazon. They are around 15 dollars and are superior to all others in my experience. The build quality is fantastic and they are made of premium components.
 
Anything compact like these but with 3 ports? Would love to be able to charge my iPhone, iPad, and Watch at the same time.
